EYE SHAPE GUIDE

🔽 Downturned Eyes

Outer corners tip gently below the inner corners

How to tell you have downturned eyes

  • Outer corners sit slightly lower than the inner corners
  • The upper lid often looks longer than the lower
  • Reads as soft, romantic, slightly melancholy
  • Liner drawn along the natural line drags the eye down

Makeup for downturned eyes

Eyeshadow: Blend crease color up and out at 45° from the outer third — never follow the downward line.

Liner: Stop your liner before the outer corner and kick the wing upward from there; skip lower-lid liner.

Lashes: Concentrate curl and volume at the center-to-outer top lashes for lift.
